Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
1. A one-piece speaker assembly comprising: a speaker; a gasket having a hole for discharging sounds, and fastened to an upper portion of the speaker; a connector fastened to an underside of the speaker; and each of an upper surface of the gasket and a lower surface of the connector having such a surface as to coincide with an inner wall of an electronic equipment in which the speaker assembly is to be mounted, wherein the gasket and the connector are made of polymeric material, the connector is adhered to the underside of the speaker with a conductive adhesive layer so as to be connected to the terminal on the underside of the speaker said conductive adhesive layer being formed by printing anisotropic conductive films (ACF) on the conductive surfaces.
2. The one-piece speaker assembly according to claim 1 wherein the speaker has a cylindrical shape.
3. The one-piece speaker assembly according to claim 2 wherein each of the gasket and the connector has an annular shape and has a diameter equal to the diameter of the speaker.
4. The one-piece speaker assembly according to claim 1 wherein the speaker has a terminal at the underside thereof.
5. The one-piece speaker assembly according to claim 1 wherein the underside of the connector is processed into a conductive surface.
6. The one-piece speaker assembly according to claim 5 wherein the conductive adhesive layer and the conductive surface on the both sides of the connector are electrically connected by conductive members provided in connector.
7. A one-piece speaker assembly comprising: a speaker; a gasket having a hole for discharging sounds, and secured to an upper portion of the speaker; and a connector fastened to an underside of the speaker; wherein the gasket and the connector are made of polymeric material, and the connector is adhered to the underside of the speaker with a conductive adhesive layer so as to be connected to the terminal on the underside of the speaker A 1 .
8. The one-piece speaker assembly according to claim 7 , wherein the speaker has a cylindrical shape.
9. The one-piece speaker assembly according to claim 8 , wherein each of the gasket and the connector has a diameter equal to the diameter of the speaker.
10. The one-piece speaker assembly according to claim 7 , wherein the speaker has a terminal at the underside thereof.
11. A one-piece speaker assembly comprising: a speaker; a gasket having a hole for discharging sounds, and secured to an upper portion of the speaker; and a connector fastened to an underside of the speaker; wherein the gasket and the connector are made of polymeric material; the connector is adhered to the underside of the speaker with a conductive adhesive layer so as to be connected to the terminal on the underside of the speaker A 1 , and the underside of the connector is processed into a conductive surface.
12. A one-piece speaker assembly comprising: a speaker; a gasket having a hole for discharging sounds, and secured to an upper portion of the speaker; and a connector fastened to an underside of the speaker; wherein the gasket and the connector are made of polymeric material, the connector is adhered to the underside of the speaker with a conductive adhesive layer so as to be connected to the terminal on the underside of the speaker, said conductive adhesive layer being formed by printing anisotropic conductive films (ACF) on the conductive surface; the underside of the connector is processed into a conductive surface; and wherein the conductive adhesive layer and the conductive surface on both sides of the connector are electrically connected by conductive members provided in the connector.
